TWENTY-FoUR PERSONS KILLED AND
MANY MORE SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
A terrible accident occurred Monday
morning on the West Roxbury branch
of the Boston and Providence rail-
road, caused by the giving away OF
the iron truss bridge which spans
South street at a point about equi-
distant from the Roslindale and For
est Hills Stations, near Boston. In
consequence "a persons lost their
lives and at least ia are suffering
from injuries, of whom Is will proba-
bly die, and the condition of score
or more in addition is precarious. The
train left Dedham at o'clock and
consisted of an engine and nine cars.
1t had taken passengers at West
Roxbury and Highland, and at the
time the disaster took place about
800 persons were on board and were
pretty well distributed in the several
cars. and was so we'll filled that pas
sengers at Roslindale were unable to
obtain seats. In less than two min
utes the engine crossed the bridge,
and a second later the conductor
found that his train had parted, and
looking back was Mortified TO see that
the bridge had gone and several of the
cars had disappeared. Immediately
on the falling of the train in the street
the shouts and cries that arose from
the imprisoned passengers were heart
rending. The people in the vicinity
were made aware of the disaster and
the police and fire departments sum-
moned to the scene. The appearance
of the wrecked train was sickening
in the extreme. Five cars were piled
in a promiscuous heap in the street,
while on every hand the cries of the
wounded and dying were heard, and
here and there were seen passengers
desperately attempting to relieve
themselves from the weight of wood
and iron that bore them to the ground.
In the overturned smoking car, in
which at least so men were impris-
Oned, a slight fire from the stove
showed itself but when the chemical
engine arrived was speedily extin'
guished. With this exception there
was not the least indication of fire tx
add horror to what was already 8
most serious matter. Twenty-foul
lifeless bodies were taken out and the
number of injured cannot at present
be told. The cause of the accident
is not definitely known. 1t was one
of the early trains into Boston and
the passengers were mostly people
living near by, going to their places
of business.

Bradstreet's, the weekly financial and
commercial newspaper published by The
Bradstreet Company, is now in its Gf-
teenth volume, and is surpassed by none
of The financial and commercial periodi-
Gals of this country or in Europe. In
the fourteen volumes already issued can
be found a greater diversity of original
and carefully prepared matter-facts
and DEMONSTRATING to business topics
than in any other periodical during the
same period. Nor is it surprising that
it has reached and maintains this posi-
ton, for it is owned and published by a
large cOrpOratiOn-Withi its cash capital
and assets of over 81 ,400, 600, its nearly
100 branch offices, and its small army of
over 800 salaried employees and $1,000
regular correspondents. This Organiza-
ton makes extensive Investigations into
industrial and other matters, gathers
full reports of the condition and pros
poets of the leading crops, and reports
regularly each week the condition of
trade throughout the country, thus praG
tically making BrGdstreet's an authority
as to the condition and prospects of the
commercial world. 1t needs but glance
at the newspaper to satisfy any one that
its publishers have been ambitious rather
than avariciOus. Files of BrddStreet's
have become an acceptable and almost
Indispensable journal for progressive
business men,

We have taken just pride in the

The latest news from Washington is
that the retirement of Secretary Endi-
colt from the cabinet is quite proba-
BILE. Mr.. Endicott recommended DR..
]. Fl. Baxter for appointment as sur
geon-general of the army-a position
very desirable to the officers of the
medical department. DR.. Baxter is a
Republican and Mr.. Cleveland would
not appoint him, but did appoint Col.
John Moore. Hence the rupture in
the cabinet which is exciting consid-
cradle interest at the capitol.

Hconauered at Last"
PRIZE POEM ON THE GRATITUDE OF
THE SOUTH FOR NORTHERN HELP.

Some time since the Mobile Neaos Of
fered prize for the poem which, by
Southern writer, should be judged most
meritorious, expressive of the gratitude
which existed in the Southern heart
toward the people of the North for the
philanthropy and magnanimity SO freely
and nobly displayed in the time of the
dire affection of the South by peStilence.
This offer called forth seventy-seven
competitive compositions from various
parts of the country. The committee
to whom the manuscripts were sub
mitted decided in favor of the poem en-
titled Conquered at Last" by Miss
Maria L. Eve, of Augusta, Ga, which
we print below, as in striking contrast
with the present attitude of Southern
Congressman and good portion OF the
Southern Press. -sJs
You came to u.s. once, o brothers, in wrath,
And rude desolation followed your path.
You conquered US then, but only in part,
For stubborn thing is the human heart,
So the mad wind blows in his might and main,
And the forests bend to his breath ike gram,
Their heads in the dust and their branches broke
But how shall he soften their hearts of oak
You swept DER our land like the whirlwinds
wing
But the human heart is stubborn thing.
We laid down our arms, we yielded our will;
But our heart of hearts was unconquered still.
eve are vanquished." we said, but our wounds
must heal; 7OI--- is.gs s-Isorut
We gave you our swords, but our hearts were
steel,
ave are conquered" we said, but our hearts are
sore,
And "woe to the conquered" on every door.
But the spoiler came and he would not spare,
The angel that walketh in darkness was there;
He walked thro' the valley, walked thrO' the
street,
And he left the print of his fiery feet
| In the dead dead, dead, that were everywhere,
And buried away with never prayer
From the desolate land, from its very heart,
There went forth cry to the uttermost part;
You heard it, o bFotheFs-With never measure
| You opened your hearts, and poured out your
treasure,
| o Sisters of Mercy, you gave above these
| For you helped we know on your Bonded knees
| Your pity was human, but OH it was more,
When you shared our cross and our burden bore
| Your lives in your hands, you stood by our side;
Your lives for our lives, you laid down and died.
| And no greater love hath man to give
Than lay down his life that his friends may live.
| You poured in our wounds the oil and the wine
That you brought to us from Hand divine.
You conquered us, brothers, our swords we gave
| We yield now our heartS-they are all we have,
| Our last ditch was there, and it held out longj
II is yours, friends and you'll find 1t strong.
| Your love had magic, diyiner than art,
And CONQUERED by Kindness" Wen write on
our heart.

From the day of the passage of the
Fugitive slave act, Mr.. Beecher was
one of the boldest and the ablest of
the foes of slavery. He was one of
the originators of the underground
railway, and was reviled with the
other anti-slavery leaders of that pc
Rod by the pro-slavery press. AT
one time the roughs of Brooklyn de-
termined to break up the evening SER
vice, but his friends made such a dis
play of power that the ruffians were
cowed. He was hated by the slave
owners, and for Is years the South
was as unsafe for bin to travel in as
the interior of Africa. In the agita-
ton over the repeal of the Missouri
compromise and the subsequent Kan
sas struggles, he was an ardent SYM
pathizer with the friends of freedom
and personally assisted in purchasing
rifles and bibles with which to carry
on the contest. One gets an idea of
the marvellous change of sentiment
which has taken place since that pc
Rod, when it is stated that it was only
through his personal influence that
Wendell Phillips was accorded a hear
ing in Plymouth church.
When the war broke out Mr.. Beech
er devoted his entire energies to the
cause, addressing public meetings,
raising money, and encouraging 9TH
ers to join the army by letting his eld-
est son 60 in one of the first regi-
ments. Many of his addresses deliv-
cred during that period were models
